"SHADE-ROLLER BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 709,964, datedSeptember 30, 1902.

A Application filed June 23, 1902. Serial No. 112,857. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM OLOWsE and OTIS M. STEVENS, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Hardwick, in the county of Caledonia andState of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inShade-Roller Brackets; and we do declare the following to be a full,clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othroers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

The invention relates to shaderoller brackets.

The object of the invention is to provide a bracket of this characterwhich shall be simple of construction, durable in use, comparativelyinexpensive of production, and easily applied and adjusted toshade-rollers of various lengths. 7

With this object in view the invention consists of certain novelfeatures of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts whichwill be hereinafter more fully described, and particularly pointed outinthe appended 2 5 claim. 7

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of a corner of awindow-frame, illustrating the application of the invention. Fig. 2 is alongitudinal sectional view on line a; 00;

3c and Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-sectional view through the plate,bracket, and set-screw.

In the drawings, 1 denotes a plate which has apertures 2, through one ofwhich projects a screw 3 for securing the plate to the window-frame. Thelower edge of the plate is provided with a laterally-proj ectingguidefiange 4:- 5 denotes a bracket which is provided with an arm 6,projecting therefrom and at an angle thereto and formed with alongitudinal slot 7. A screw 8 passes through this slot and through oneof the holes ofthe plate 1 and blocks said plate against pivotalmovement on its screw, while at the same time it locks in longitudinaladjustment the bracket, which is prevented from pivotal movement on thescrew 8 by the laterallyprojecting flange 4. In brief, the set-screw 8locks the plate to the window-frame against movement and simultaneouslylocks the bracket against longitudinal movement, said bracket beinglocked against pivotal movement by the flange 4.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, andadvantages of the invention will be readily understood without requiringan extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction maybe made within the scope of the invention Without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patcut, is-

The combination with a base-plate provided with two holes and with amarginal laterallyprojecting guide-flange, fastening means insertedthrough one of said holes, a bracket having an angular arm formed with alongitudinal slot the lower edge of said arm resting upon saidguide-flange, and a set-screw extending through said slot and theunoccupied hole of the plate and adapted to prevent pivotal movement ofthe plate and to hold the bracket in longitudinal adjustment,substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of twosubscribing wit- 8o nesses.
